About this property

Historic Charleston Waterfront Hut Homestead Close to Downtown & Kiawah/Folly

Step right into a storybook with our breathtaking 62-acre historic homestead, complete with a dream house my parents worked tirelessly to build. Nestled amongst 30 stunning 400-year-old live oak trees and situated on a deep water creek with a floating dock, The Hut boasts Southern charm and an unbeatable location just 1 mile from the Charleston Executive Airport. Relaxation is guaranteed with restful vibes and easy access to Downtown Charleston, Kiawah and Seabrook Islands. And for foodies, the local Lowcountry Gullah Cuisine won't disappoint. Don't trust Google Maps to show off the place; come experience our slice of paradise yourself!

This year, The Hut just got a little more charming with the addition of our own farmer, Caroline, who’s filling the fields with wildflowers and fresh seasonal vegetables.

Escape to the Hut Homestead for unforgettable family vacations or intimate weddings of up to 90 guests, for a nominal fee of *$2,500. Imagine saying your vows amongst 400-year-old live oak trees and picturesque views of the Intracoastal Waterway. To say the lease...a enchanting Southern venue.
